Wii Fit is holding on to the third place for total game sales during the current decade, slowly encroaching upon Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Trends suggest that Nintendo’s exercise game would overtake GTA if not for the impending release of Wii Fit Plus. Nintendo chalks this success up to the inclusion of a peripheral, which also helps to explain the sales numbers behind the top selling game for the decade – Wii Play. Wii Play’s approximately 11 million units sold (compare to approx. 8 million for Wii Fit and approx. 8.3 million for GTA) likely says more about the public’s need for a second controller than the game contained within, yet still gives Nintendo some slick bragging rights as the minigame collection seats them comfortably in that number one position.
